"I said 'hello, I think I'm broken,'
And though I was only joking,
It took me by surprise when you agreed
I was trying to be clever
For the life of me I never
Would have guessed how far
The simple truth would lead
You knew all my lines
You knew all my tricks
You knew how to heal that pain
No medicine can fix
And I bless the day I met you,
And I thank God that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on
And the good new is I'm better
For the time we spent together
And the bad news is you're gone
Looking back it's still surprising
I was sinking, you were rising
And with a look you caught me in midair
And I know God has his reasons
But sometimes it's hard to see them
When I lie awake and find
That you're not there
You found hope in hopeless
You made crazy sane
You became the missing link
That helped me break my chain
And I bless the day I met you,
And I thank God that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on
And the good new is I'm better
For the time we spent together
And the bad news is you're gone
Oh, you're gone
Oh, you're gone
You're gone..."
